But you have your home bias like the rest of us. We're not really disagreeing much here but you do pump up your guys same as anyone
I do have to find it a bit funny that you would agree with me on the potential of having 3 top 15 players then doubling down that the Thunder don’t have anything more than any other team.

We're talking past each other and I ain't trying to fight so it's all good

I think you could be wrong on the overall talent thing, watch what Jalen Williams turns into. The Thunder are going to have 3 top 15 players in this league 2 years from now. I think a lot of teams would disagree with you on Giddey, at least before this potential mess.

That means you’re expecting to be way better than the 2010s dubs


Who never came close to that and still ran train on the league

I honestly don’t have a feel for how far they will go, just like what I’m seeing in individual talent. Obviously I could be wrong.

Even if you’re right

I’m curious how a team that avoids the tax the way giddy avoids girls of legal age handles 3 super max deals

The 2017 Warriors had 2 top 5 players and 2 top 20 ones though which was why they were one of the 5 (top 3?) best teams in NBA history

Love how the nba set up rules to help smaller markets and stop the teams in mega markets like….

Milwaukee and….

Oklahoma City….

Just institute a clause that rewards teams for keeping talent they drafted (or traded rights for)

yes that would have benefitted GS. And I'm fine with that. The point is to keep the LA types from buying up the league.

Yeah idk what the exact move is. Guys like Steph should just count the regular max vs the super max for cap purposes (still getting paid actual dollars of supermax)

It’s the smaller ones that are harder

I’m also against banning mle since that affects so many guys
